Slaven Bilic has ruled out making a move for Chelsea keeper Asmir Begovic.

Writing in his column in The Standard the West Ham boss was emphatic about the goalkeeping position at his club and his plans for next season.

Begovic was a January transfer target for Bournemouth but that deal fell through when Chelsea were unable to bring in a replacement back-up goalkeeper.

Since the transfer window closed the Bosnian internationalist has been regularly linked with a switch to West Ham but Bilic was happy to distance himself from that move.

I was happy — and I am still happy — with Adrian and Darren Randolph,” the Hammers boss said. “If you ask me whether they will both still be here next season, I would say yes.”

West Ham were strongly linked with a number of targets during the January window as the Dimitri Payet saga was played out.

Robert Snodgrass and Jose Fonte were brought into the side as the relegation fears of the autumn have disappeared with the questions over Bilic’s future also easing as the club settles in- and puts together some results- at the London Stadium.
